16 year old girl   In a hallowed carved out place   Just looking for some prettiness   But the cuts in her arm don't paint for her,   A very pretty view   In her mind she dreams that she is   Far away from...      The bright lights of America   Life and death in a sold out-erica   To live and die in the heart of America   Where they sell souls   [x2]      A concrete city hell (city hell)   Suburbs that never end (just like an ocean)   One parent lives in each of them   Passed back and forth he huffs glue to escape both bitter home   He's just one of desperate ranks   Who can't break free from...      The bright lights of America   Life and death in a sold out-erica   To live and die in the heart of America   Where they sell souls   [x2]      I just want you to know   There are warehouses full   Of fucked up kids like you and me (can't find a way)   So many lost in strife,   caught in an endless fight   To leave this empty ugly place   I'm leaving you at sea      The bright lights of America   Life and death in a sold out-erica   To live and die in the heart of America   Where they sell souls   [x4]
